Final evaluation for the Global Fund Middle East and North Africa Multi-Country Grant on Sustainability of HIV services for Key Populations

About Frontline AIDS:

Frontline AIDS have been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for over 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.

Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, Frontline AIDS have continually adapted their approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.

Everything they do is rooted in  their two key beliefs:

- That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.

- That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.

Today, they work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.

As a global partnership that is open to everyone, Frontline AIDS can only do what they do – and achieve what they want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Their partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.
